I forgot to mention that this is while using manual mode. It's actully better in auto mode because the transmission starts out in 2nd gear when in 4L and I haven't had a situation where it will downshift into first, so the terrible 1-2 and 2-1 shift is avoided. However the 2-3 amd 3-2 shift...

My only problem with the auto has been software related. The shift strategy in 4L is atrocious. I've taken it to the dealer for "updated" programming but it hasn't really made a difference. The shifting between 1st and 2nd will be either extremely slow, causing a temporary neutral drop and...

I'm seeing a pattern of September-October 2022 tops being the good ones. Mine is a September 2022 and it's been fine so far. The manufacturing quality/finish probably isn't what it should be in my opinion, but it's holding up. I see people talking shit on the strength of the top, are people...

The brakes only do so much, it still lunges forward when you're standing on the brakes. I just had the dealer update the PCM strategy for the transmission so we'll see what happens on the next outing.

I'm currently dealing with the forward thrust issue when downshifting, but I only notice it in 4L. It's pretty extreme; it acts like someone is hitting the gas while I'm trying to stop. As mentioned, there's at least one or more TSBs related to shifting for these vehicles and there should be new...

Looks like you ain't got any sway bar on your rig anymore? I'm wanting to get rid of the stupid braces on mine but I want to keep the sway bar. I'm surprised nobody has a kit for this yet. It would be cool to hear straight from a Ford engineer why these braces were put on the 2.7 and not the...

Did this end up being a permanent fix? I was wheeling with my '22 this weekend and noticed the same problem downshifting 3-2 in 4L. It was borderline dangerous, as I'd come up to an obstacle and as it would downshift, it felt like someone punched the gas and made the vehicle lunge forward...

Leaving any vehicle in 4H when it doesn't have a center diff can cause something to break if you make a tight turn (typically full steering lock) on a high traction surface. A locking hub or axle is usually what will let go. That being said, it's one of those things where it either breaks or...

A cross plane 2.3 would be very cool and interesting to say the least. It can definitely be done if someone has the time and money. Essentially you'd have to have a custom billet crank made (Bryant makes these for about $5k a piece last I checked) and a custom cam (almost any cam maker can do...

Nice! Yeah, I had rubbing there so I ended up just pulling down on the oil lines at the elbow to add some more bend to them. That aluminum is really soft and bends easy, I went slow and made sure it wouldn't kink. It didn't need much bending and now I have piece of mind of nothing rubbing. I'm...

Yeah, I wish I had tried to clock the motor forward too. It wasn't that bad to hook up the terminals before bolting the cradle up, but it would be super easy to hook them up if they faced forward. I used to have access to a plasma cutter and bender, but right now I just have SolidWorks for CAD...

Nice, I decided I can get by without the clutch release for now. I did re-clock the winch so the release lever is on the front of the winch. The thought was that I can drill a hole through the front skidplate and use an extension through that way instead of trying to make something that is under...

Nice, that actually looks exactly like the previous design of the RC kit before they made it fit the V6 models. There are a few differences (multi-piece winch mount and a different skid plate) The old design like yours sits up a little tighter for more ground clearance so it's actually a better...

Since Rough Country claims that the hidden winch kit doesn't work with the Capable bumper, I figured I would document my experience installing a Warn VR Evo 12-S using the Rough Country hidden mount kit on my Badlands, equipped with the Capable bumper. I also had to make some changes to other...

I have the same winch install going on with my 2.7. I take it you did not have the plastic shroud with flaps on the back side of you intercooler? Mine does, and the control box is nowhere close to fitting like yours did. I also ended up have to cut the RC oil cooler mount and the remaining tabs...

Add me to the list of people curious about what the RC hidden winch install looks like with the Capable bumper. I've seen videos and pictures from over a year ago, but the design is a little different now and the only thing I can get from RC when I ask them why it won't work is "it will not...

Wife wanted RCI sliders because they're a bit lower and have a wider step platform. These tuck up and in a lot more, which I really like, but it's primarily her vehicle so her choice lol.

East side towards Choctaw.

Still got these lying around.

In like-new shape, no scratches. Only signs of use (besides being a little dirty) are on the sides of the mounting plates where they were welded to the frame. They can be bolted on if you drill the frame. Factory powdercoated. With shipping, these are $1250 new. As you may have found out, most...
